Ashley Tisdale's airport-style includes this Gypsy 05 Dawn Peace Tee, made in a solar-powered factory of organic fabric and natural dyes. ($88 at Boutique to You)

In case this season's maxi-dresses, floor-length skirts, tie-dye prints and gladiator sandals didn't give it away, perhaps these peace sign tees will clue you in to the boho trend that's been sweeping through Hollywood since, oh, I don't know, the '60s? These days, the slant is more haute hippie, but the message of make-love-not-war is still the same (and more important than ever.) Here's a round-up of some cute and cheap peace sign tees from around the web.

This delicious strawberry pillbox by Judith Leiber went for $595 at Neiman Marcus.

Judith Leiber's hand-beaded crystal evening bags in whimsical, three-dimensional shapes—like ladybugs, cupcakes and flowers—cost thousands at upscale department stores and boutiques. These charming pieces of wearable art are probably worth the price for the avid collector.


For the casual admirer, this strawberry purse from ASOS should do the trick. It's a cheeky addition to any girl's wardrobe, and it's on sale for just $25.65 at ASOS.com.

And the winner is… #64 Heather, who wrote "I love spending the day outside: at the park, zoo, or pool with my two year old. I also enjoy going to the local farmer's markets."

Congratulations to our winner and thanks to everyone who participated. Good to see how everyone's favorite summer past times focus on friends, family, food, and the great outdoors - the simple pleasures of life!
